= Using flags to specify instance types and preferences
|
|
|
|
Specify instance types and preferences by using flags.
|
|
|
|
.Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
* You must have an instance type, preference, or both on the cluster.
|
|
|
|
.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. To specify an instance type when creating a VM, use the `--instancetype` flag. To specify a preference, use the `--preference` flag. The following example includes both flags:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
[source,terminal]
|
|
----
|
|
$ virtctl create vm --instancetype <my_instancetype> --preference <my_preference>
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
. Optional: To specify a namespaced instance type or preference, include the `kind` in the value passed to the `--instancetype` or `--preference` flag command. The namespaced instance type or preference must be in the same namespace you are creating the VM in. The following example includes flags for a namespaced instance type and a namespaced preference:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
[source,terminal]
|
|
----
|
|
$ virtctl create vm --instancetype virtualmachineinstancetype/<my_instancetype> --preference virtualmachinepreference/<my_preference>
